If my surroundings can look nice,then I can certainly make myself feel and look the way I am comfortable with. I just have to do it :)<br />Hugs! :)Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146666825333788187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772440230188635826.post-51717290937430322992012-10-22T08:45:51.825-04:002012-10-22T08:45:51.825-04:00I am so proud of you for working on your weight,yo...I am so proud of you for working on your weight,you have been doing a fabulous job! It's true-we can't look at it as a diet,but a lifestyle change and that means getting out of this rut that I have been in for years. I too,am feeling my worst-climbing stairs,even one flight,winds me.I have no physical stamina,and I am tired of sweating when I am working in the garden when it's not even that hot out! <br />I love your blog,even if I don't always respond,and look forward to your "weight" posts for inspiration!<br />Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146666825333788187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772440230188635826.post-6501450183783041832012-10-21T23:51:21.388-04:002012-10-21T23:51:21.388-04:00We are the same height! lol I agree that body and...We are the same height! lol I agree that body and mind work together and you will get rid of that body clutter don't worry. The harder I am on myself it seems the harder it backfires when it comes to loosing :( Why did I not truly enjoy being able to wear anything when I could??? geesh :) Little M&M is so precious cuddled up with the bear and the bookshelf looks wonderful. It really lightens the mood as you walk through the house and see one thing after another that has been cleaned and organized. It makes me feel excited to continue on to the next thing.

I think the word diet conjured up the thought of denying yourself things you like, living on lettuce leaves or starving yourself. Have you noticed that the word diet is die with a 't' on the end! We can all lose weight, really that's the easy part, it's keeping it off that's the problem. How and what you choose to eat had to be a lifestyle, it has to become everyday, that's not to say you can have the odd meal out, or the odd blowout, life would be pretty dull if you couldn't eh? My turning point was realising that I turn 50 next year, and I didn't want to be fat at 50. My knees were hurting when I walked up the stairs, my hips were starting to give me trouble and to be honest I was feeling very unhealthy, the first time I've ever felt that way. If I didn't lose it now I never would and that I would be setting myself up for a very unhealthy old age. So far I've lost 11kgs that's not too far away from 2 stone and boy do I know that weight has gone. I still have a way to go yet, but this is the first time that I really feel I have the right mindset and a determination to keep the weight of once it's gone, I never want to be as big as I was a few months back, that girl is gone for good. I hated trying on clothes too, I've been there crying in the changing room. I don;t cry now though, I'm still big but I have a better body image, there are nice clothes out there that you can look good in, you've seen my blog. I have Sue to thank for that, she had such a sense of her own style and I think I'm beginning to develop a sense of my own. You will too, you just need to feel confident in yourself, you'll get there. Just do it. Now if only I could get my head around the exercise malarkey! ♥ (Sorry waffled a but there luv)The Webbers living a life at the beachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14428953268605707094noreply@blogger.com
